Compassionate, evidence‑based care & support in Newcastle & Lake Macquarie
Endometriosis
Let’s work together to identify your triggers and build a personalised plan that helps you feel more comfortable in your own body.
Personalised nutrition for endometriosis
Expert dietary support to ease symptoms, support fertility and improve daily wellbeing – in clinic or via telehealth.
Endometriosis is when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing pelvic pain, heavy or painful periods, bloating, bowel symptoms and sometimes fertility challenges – symptoms can overlap with IBS. At Ausclin we use personalised, evidence‑based nutrition to reduce bloating and gut discomfort, support anti‑inflammatory eating, and consider targeted approaches such as low FODMAP or gluten/dairy adjustments and appropriate supplements. Our weight‑inclusive, trauma‑aware care helps rebuild a positive relationship with food and gives practical strategies you can start straight away.
Based in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, our dietitians offer in‑clinic appointments and telehealth for regional and remote clients. We tailor plans to your priorities, review supplements safely, and work closely with your GP or specialist for coordinated fertility or pain management. Consultations focus on clear, practical steps and ongoing follow‑up to monitor progress and refine advice as your symptoms change.
Common signs
Endometriosis can present with a range of challenging symptoms that impact daily life, including pelvic pain, heavy or painful periods, bloating, bowel problems, and pain during intercourse. Some people also experience fertility difficulties or gut symptoms that are similar to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Recognising these common signs early empowers you to seek tailored treatment and supportive care, helping to reduce pain, improve digestive health, and support fertility. Understanding your unique experience is the first step towards effective, evidence‑based management and better quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are common questions people ask about Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT), how our Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) work, and how to access care – including Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) referrals. If you don’t see your question listed, contact us and we’ll help.
Can diet really make a difference for endometriosis?
Yes. While nutrition isn’t a cure, it is a powerful tool for managing symptoms. We focus on anti-inflammatory patterns and gut health to help reduce pain, manage “endo belly” bloating, and improve energy levels.
What exactly is “Endo Belly” and how can you help?
“Endo belly” refers to the severe, often painful bloating associated with endometriosis. We help identify whether this is linked to inflammatory flare-ups or co-existing gut issues like IBS, providing targeted strategies to reduce the discomfort.
Do I need to go gluten-free or dairy-free for endometriosis?
There is no “one-size-fits-all” answer. Some research suggests benefits for certain individuals, but we focus on a personalised approach—testing triggers carefully rather than recommending unnecessary, restrictive diets.
Is the Low FODMAP diet helpful for endometriosis?
Because endometriosis symptoms often overlap with IBS, a guided low-FODMAP trial can sometimes help manage gut-related pain and bloating. We provide clinical support to ensure this is done safely and effectively.
How does an anti-inflammatory diet help with pelvic pain?
Certain nutrients help modulate the body’s inflammatory response. By increasing your intake of specific fats, antioxidants, and fibre, we aim to lower the systemic inflammation that contributes to endometriosis flare-ups.
Can nutrition support my fertility if I have endometriosis?
Absolutely. We focus on preconception nutrition to optimise egg quality and create a supportive environment for conception, working as part of your wider multidisciplinary health team.
Are there supplements that are proven to help with endometriosis?
Some supplements have evidence for reducing pain and inflammation in endo. We provide a personalised review of your current supplements and recommend evidence-based options tailored to your specific symptoms.
How do you approach nutrition for someone who is exhausted from chronic pain?
We understand that chronic pain is exhausting. Our plans are practical and “low energy-friendly,” focusing on simple, nourishing meal ideas that don’t add to your daily burden while still supporting your health.
